I would prefer to keep it use GET_MODE_SIZE here since it make this function more readable, I mean because few lines above just using GET_MODE_SIZE, it might confusing people (at least to me :P) if we use GET_MODE_PRECISION here.
Then maybe change 8 to BITS_PER_UNIT? Otherwise one could think the 8 has a connection to LMUL8. -- Regards Robin
